Keary’s bold Origin call

SYDNEY Roosters star Luke Keary has been so focused on putting his State of Origin omission behind him, he hasn’t returned two missed calls from NSW coach Brad Fittler.

A week after losing out on his Blues debut to James Maloney and Nathan Cleary, Keary bounced back with another strong effort in the Roosters’ heart-stopping NRL win over Wests Tigers on Sunday.

He insists he wasn’t overly disappointed by missing out.

“It’s pretty cool to have your name thrown around up there. The people they picked definitely deserved their spot too. I’ll just keep playing and see what happens. It’s a long series,” Keary said.
